In this market, homeowners may feel helpless because they can&amp;#39;t control the market or the lower housing prices. But they can take control of the way the house looks, and knowing that can be empowering.&lt;/p&gt;

I agree with you to have a home decorated for holidays. It gives the house the &amp;quot;HOME FEELING&amp;quot; if it is decorated neutrally - without personal pictures ornaments. The ornaments should not distract buyers to look at each of them rather than focusing on your house. Happy Holidays to everyone!&lt;/p&gt;

It is the holidays after all.&lt;/p&gt;
